What are your general comments?

"Overall I was incredibly impressed with the school. The program is first rate and the students really had a geniune tie to the school. We had a few students coming up and talking with us while we waited for our interviews. They really gave us a good overview of the school and were really laid back. This school is easily one of my top choices."
